The sun is just about to move, and the cigarette is about to float."

Although Sui was unified, the second dynasty died. The steps are too big, and everything is torn off... Heroes come out of troubled times, and a bold and courageous Ming monarch was born, handsome appearance, and opened the glory of the Tang Dynasty! !

Guess who I am?

Answers to the questions in the previous issue:

Why did the four Sui and Tang dynasties destroy Goguryeo?

A: Goguryeo is a state established by the Buyeo people in the northeastern region, which began its independence after Wang Mang's reign and the New Han Dynasty. The territory spans Liaodong to Pyongyang, with a population of three million, grain and grass, and cavalry, which belongs to a large country, and its destruction is inevitable. In Zhao Kuangyin's words, lying on the side of the bed, you will not allow others to snore.

Goryeo Dynasty 1st century AD - 7th century

Moreover, Goguryeo is across the sea, but there is territory connected to the Sui and Tang dynasties, geographically easy to defend and difficult to attack, the Sui Emperor attacked three times without success, Goguryeo did not have a frontal rigidity, so that the fraud surrendered, Yang Guang went down the slope and withdrew his troops. Why? The Sui army couldn't move, and he was exhausted and died at the starting line after crossing the sea.

If Goguryeo does not surrender and confront the Sui army, they may not win, but also lose, which is a lose-lose. So roundabout tactics are the right solution. It can be seen that the Goguryeo king's brain is online, and the later dynasty is definitely not the same way.

Tang was able to fight because he was too strong (lineup: Li Shimin, Li Wei, Su Dingfang, Niu Jinda, Xue Rengui, Zhang Liang, Changsun Wuji)... And listen to this breakdown.

The stick yy shot Li Shimin blind, and the brain circuit was quite unwired

618-907

Guozo 289

(1) Li Tang listed

On the way, ask a few random people and ask them to report the name of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and they can probably say Li Shimin and Li Longji. But if you ask who the founding emperor is, you can answer it.

Li Yuan, you are also too non-existent. You gave birth to 22 sons, you yourself are the emperor, your son is the emperor, but all future generations remember are your sons. You laid the foundation for him, but you gave it away.

Tang Gaozu Li Yuan

He was declared emperor in 618

(566-635)

Hidden in the Mausoleum

Li Yuan's grandfather Li Hu was one of the "Eight Pillar Kingdoms" of Western Wei, and married the Dugu family of the other Eight Pillar Kingdom, and Dugu Xin's fourth daughter married Li Hu's son Li Xiang and gave birth to Li Yuan. Li Yuan and Yang Guang are cousins, and their starting point is very high (from a noble family in Guanlong in Northern Zhou, and they attacked the Duke of Tang), and it is reasonable to catch Sui Pan.

As mentioned in the last episode, Li Shimin did something that ordinary people dare not do if they wanted to, and it was closer to reality, so people worshiped him and praised him. And Li Yuan just did something that he didn't dare to think about, but felt that he was too far from reality and was easy to be ignored. Li Yuan from 0 to 1, descendants are the starting point of 1, Li Yuan personally pulled up the starting line.

Li Yuan was keenly aware of this when Sui was about to fall, and he began to make friends in Qingyang, leaving himself many ways, taking the path of relatives, leaving relatives with nowhere to go. When he was suspected by Yang Guang, he pretended to be crazy and confused, so that Yang Guang put aside his skeptical attitude and secretly accumulated forces, such as Pei Yu, and a friend Samurai Bin (Wu Zetian's father, it must be mentioned).

Li Yuan's political intelligence and emotional intelligence are undoubtedly very high. In addition, he has high martial arts, can lead troops to fight, and his personal show is also full score. The wife was won by an archery competition, and the big eagle was shot down to scare the Turks away. At this time, Shanxi became Li Yuan's hatching base.

In 617, Li Yuan, who was more than half a hundred years old, made a big move and raised troops in Jinyang. Slowly, he went from 30,000 to 200,000 troops. Supporting the Dai Wang You. In the same year, Jiangdu mutinied.

Interlude: Before Jinyang raised troops, Li Yuan was trapped by Gaoyang in Taiyuan, and Li Shimin also rescued him. Li Shimin did not expect that his dynasty would be trapped by a Taiyuan woman in the future.

In 618, in March, the beautiful head of Yang Guang landed. In May of vitality, Li Yuan built the Tang Dynasty, established the year name Wude, and set the capital Chang'an.

A brief history of 5,000 years of China that cannot be read in one breath|Early Tang (explosive special)

Five years have passed and the first plan has come true.

In 623, Li Yuan's throne tended to one word: Wu Enwen. At this time, Li Yuan launched a commotion operation, and he went offline to develop his own offline. Of the original four sons, he gave birth to eighteen in a row.

Li Yuan's second eldest is really busy.

(ii) The rule of chastity

Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin

He was declared emperor in 626

(599-649)

Hidden in Zhaoling

What do you think, I'm talking about Li Shimin.

Let's see what Li Shimin is doing, and you can understand the inevitability of the change of Xuanwu Gate!

In the first year of Wude, the voices of the four sides were rising, and the heroes were still chasing the deer. All forces are rising one after another, and Li Shimin is the fire captain, fighting fires everywhere.

Li Yuan took Liu Wenjing and Li Shimin to fight with Xue Ju (Xue Shi, Hedong) the King of Qin.

In 618, Li Shimin captured the Xihe River, Pingwei North, Pingdaxing City, and went all the way west to Chang'an.

Xue Ju was violently killed, and Li Shimin fought his son Xue Renji.

At the end of the year, Li Rail was declared emperor in Hexi. What to do, it must be destroyed.

The equipment of Wagangzhai picked up by Li Shimin: door god Qin Qiong, Mixed World Demon King Cheng Yanjin, Li Wei, Wei Zheng, etc.

A brief history of 5,000 years of China that cannot be read in one breath|Early Tang (explosive special)

Ning learned the three jieyi of Taoyuan, not the incense of Wagang Yi

Hua County, I heard that there is a Daokou town, one of the four major roast chickens

I personally find the smoked chicken delicious

In 619, Li Mi, one of the Sui and Tang dynasties at the beginning of the year, was defeated by Wang Shichong and became a cap.

Li Shimin was made King of Qin. Let's witness the majesty of this quasi-new monarch.

In May, Li Rail was destroyed. Song Jingang defected to Liu Wuzhou. Just when Li Yuan was about to give up Shanxi, Li Shimin automatically asked for a request to take it back in one fell swoop. Own basic plate, is an inseparable part!

It's just a pity that there is an episode in the middle. Li Shimin's henchman Liu Wenjing was killed because he did not deal with political enemies. However, this political rival Pei Yu did not take Shanxi several times because the Hedong Shi tribe had any advantage in the battlefield. Li Yuan waited for Li Shimin to come out and pick the big beam. Killing Liu Wenjing's whole family is also to balance Li Shimin's momentum.

However, how can Li Shimin hide?

Cheng Yanjin, Qin Shubao, and the Wen Chen Chang Sun Wuji, Fang Du and others attacked strongly, and at this time, the captain of the door god, Chi Jingde, was still determined by Yang Jun. Under the leadership of Li Shimin, they won without suspense.

A brief history of 5,000 years of China that cannot be read in one breath|Early Tang (explosive special)

Li Rail in Liangzhou in Longxi, Xue Ju in Western Qin (Zi Xue Renqi), Dou Jiande in Hebei, Xiao Mill in Jiangling and so on. With the canonization of King Qin, his ideas were further enhanced. He wants to be bigger, he wants to be strong.

In 620, Wu Zhou's Dingyang regime collapsed. It's time, in the face of the wind - Wang Shichong. (Li Jing, who is about half a hundred years old, joined the team)

Wang Shichong defeated Li Mi's 400,000-strong army, and the momentum was fierce, and he did not put anyone in his eyes, he underestimated Li Shimin, just as the so-called arrogant army will be defeated. This time, he will remember a place called Tiger Prison Pass, and he will recognize a chosen son named Li Shimin.

In the Battle of Tiger Pass, the Tang army that had received Lieutenant Chi Jingde against the Zheng Xia army. In 621, Li Shimin captured Dou Jiande and captured Wang Shichong alive, but let them sleep together on Huangquan Road. Li Shimin became famous in a decisive battle and laid the foundation for the Tang Dynasty.

A brief history of 5,000 years of China that cannot be read in one breath|Early Tang (explosive special)

Tiger Prison Pass is northwest of Xingyang Wanshui Town, Henan Province, and Luoyang East must pass

In 622, Li Shimin had three hundred and sixty days a year, mostly Hengge immediately traveled. He immediately devoted himself to his career as a slave in Pingding, Henan, and Hebei.

In 623, in the turbulent years that I don't want to repeat, Hebei was settled, and the fellow villagers could gnaw donkey meat and burn it with peace of mind.

In 624, Pingding Jiangnan.

Because the middle-aged Li Yuan (the WHO said, before the age of sixty is a young man) did not give Li Shimin what he wanted, it also intensified the contradiction between father and son, eldest son and second son. Li Shimin unveiled the seal on the beginning, preemptively turned passive into active, and personally ignited the fuse of the change of Xuanwu Gate.

A brief history of 5,000 years of China that cannot be read in one breath|Early Tang (explosive special)

Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, and Li Shimin collided

In 626, the change of Xuanwu Gate. Li Shimin shot and killed his brother Li Jiancheng, and his younger brother Li Yuanji was shot and killed when he was rescued by Wei Chigong (Wei Chigong's high ranking is related to this). After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he "imprisoned" Li Yuan in the old and dilapidated Hongyi Palace until his death. Thanks to Li Yuan, he later gave birth to 18 sons, otherwise the eldest died, the third died of illness, and the fourth died again, and there was only one rebel son, Li Shimin. Li Shimin did not kill his brothers later, which can also explain the reason why Li Shimin did not kill heroes, he felt that he was still young and capable of leveling. Killing is better to have dirty hands, it is better to offer.

Because Li Shimin at that time was only 27 years old.

A brief history of 5,000 years of China that cannot be read in one breath|Early Tang (explosive special)

The 27-year-old boy has ascended the throne, think about yourself

Helpless, take your life. Li Yuan appointed Li Shimin as the crown prince, and then passed on to him, and abdicated himself as the emperor (the process still needs to go a bit). Li Shiminmiao's number is Tang Taizong, and the year name is Zhenguan. This is the famous rule of chastity in history.

You want to say that in ancient times, there was no filial piety and no morality?

Because values are rebuilt again and again.

First of all, the most ruthless imperial family. You have to have a dozen or twenty brothers and sisters and a bunch of gold and silver mountains, you will also go to grab it, and in the end, the brave one wins, and you will kill the other brothers and sisters. Second, civilization and morality have always restrained others. Since ancient times, it has been barbaric first, then civilized. Later, the law became the norm. It's not that it's not moral, there was no concept at that time, it hadn't been produced yet. Abroad you look, all the same. The thinking behind looking at history is looking at human nature.

Don't often say that we don't have Li Shimin's courage, if we were born in the jungle since we were young, living a life of chasing and fleeing, and frightening step by step, we also have the consciousness of the law of the jungle, and we also know how to pave the way for ourselves from the beginning. Li Shimin is so strong means that his genes are strong, then his siblings are bound to appear strongly, but he is the tallest and the most lucky.

Of course I don't know. If you know that you have strangled him long ago, and Li Yuan is not a soft persimmon, do not doubt his political ability. Looking at Li Yuan's actions in the early years, Li Shimin was made the Duke of Zhao from the Duke of Qin, just to prevent Li Shimin, this is political suppression. Later, let him continue to fight the world in Guanzhong, and made it clear that he was allowed to roam freely.

In 627, Xuanzang traveled west.

Oh, nice look

In 628, Tang subdued all forces and truly achieved unification. Tang united with the Xueyantuo Khanate to attack the Eastern Turks, and at this time, it was Li Jing, the god of war of the Great Tang. Li Shimin was honored as the "Heavenly Khan".

In 630, Du Ruxian went west. The East Turks perished. In August, Li Jing was promoted to Shangshu's Right Servant, second only to Fang Xuanling.

In 633, Tubo was unified under the efforts of Songtsen Gampo.

In 634, Tuyuhun provoked the Tang border, and Li Jing leveled it again.

In 635, Li Yuan and Samurai went west.

In 636, Li Jing destroyed Tuyuhun.

In 639, Gaochang was destroyed, the Western Regions Frontier Command was established, and the Silk Road was restarted.

In 641, Princess Wencheng entered Tubo (Tibet).

Back picture of the new version of 50 yuan: Potala Palace

In 643, Li Shimin personally conquered Goguryeo and dealt a heavy blow. At this time, there was only one Tang Gaozong left before Goguryeo's demise.

Event restoration: Goguryeo bullied Silla, the younger brother Silla launched a request for help from the Tang, and the Tang was bound to help, firstly, he had the appearance of a big man, and secondly, he did not let Goguryeo become bigger, and he would make a move. Li Shimin fought first, and later Li Wei led troops to clean up Goguryeo.

In the same year, Wei Zheng went west.

In 644, the crown prince Li Chengqian was deposed, and Li Shimin installed Li Zhi, who had cuckolded himself, as crown prince. Li Zhi is the only stain on Li Shimin's life.

In 645, the Xueyantuo Khanate, which was connected to the Tang border, felt that it had done it, and wanted to find someone to practice and prepare to fight robbery. Unexpectedly, the Tang army was too strong, stealing chickens could not erode the rice, and lost.

The following year, the king was killed by Hui, and Xue Yantuo of Mobei was the first to be destroyed, and the remnants of the forces became vassals to the Tang Dynasty. Tang established Shan Yudu Fu and Yanran Du Fu Fu. To the west, the Yaochi Governor's Mansion was established.

In 648, Fang Xuanling and Fang Mou left one after another.

In 649, 51-year-old Li Shimin also went west. In the same year, Li Jing, the god of war who destroyed Tuyuhun and the Eastern Turks, died.

Li Jing's foreign wars: Li Jing was a late bloomer and accumulated thick and thin. The reason why he was named the god of war was because he first destroyed the Eastern Turks, captured tens of thousands of prisoners of war, 100,000 cattle and sheep, captured the Turkic khan and his son, and killed the Sui dynasty Yicheng princess. After not eating a stable meal for several years, 65-year-old Li Jing ignored his foot disease and destroyed Tuyuhun, who had come to Liangzhou to commit crimes, in only two months.

Tota Heavenly King prototype: Li Jing

If the Tang Dynasty wanted to be a famous general, it could only accept large orders, and the calculation unit of battle results was calculated in "country". Destroy a country at every turn and so on.

Emperor Gaozong of Tang and Li Zhi

Ascended the throne in 649

(628-683)

Hidden in Qianling

In 650, Wang Bo and Yang Jiong, the four masters of the early Tang Dynasty, were born. The literati are the product of a prosperous era, and only with things in their belly can they be endowed with poetry and song. Wang Bo was born handsome, but he didn't bring anything to the dynasty, leaving us more than a thousand years later with a junior and senior high school must memorize the "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng".

The sunset and the solitary crane fly together

The most hypocritical sentence of the junior high school teacher, there is no homework today, so I will recite the full text. After memorizing, you can climb the King Pavilion for free.

And that Li Bai, who flourished in the Tang Dynasty, would not come until half a century later.

Tang died without a second dynasty, and became more and more stable in the hands of Li Zhi, laying a good foundation.

In 652, Fang Xuanling's second son, Fang Xuanling's widow, and his wife Princess Gaoyang were accused of conspiring against him. Fang's widow was executed, and the princess committed suicide.

It was compiled into the Tang Law Shun Discussion, which is the most complete and oldest typical feudal code in existence in China.

In the same year, Wu Zetian gave birth to his eldest son, Li Hong, and was canonized as a second-rank Zhaoyi.

In 654, Wu Zetian's first daughter (Princess Andingsi) was born and died mysteriously.

Empress Wang: Why did I back the pot

In 655, he deposed Wang Liwu. Empress Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu were deposed and canonized Wu Zetian as empress.

Pay attention, Li Zhi's highlight moment is coming!

In 656, Tang sent Cheng Zhijie to attack Sha Zhao Liu's khan, but slaughtered and robbed the city. Su Dingfang, who was with him, looked confused.

In 657, the 65-year-old veteran rushed 6,000 kilometers, and Su Dingfang destroyed the Western Turks one after another. At this time, the Eastern Tang had already extended its tentacles to the Arab border. Since the Silk Road, the two countries re-established diplomatic relations during the Tang Dynasty and directly started border trade.

A brief history of 5,000 years of China that cannot be read in one breath|Early Tang (explosive special)

In 659, Li Zhi removed Changsun Wuji and other henchmen from their posts and expelled them from the palace, and these people, as well as their descendants, basically died in exile. Changsun Wuji was Li Zhi's uncle, a hero of the previous imperial dynasty, and the person who supported Li Zhi as the crown prince. But it was liquidated and wiped out.

In 660, Baekje was destroyed. Half of Li Zhi's body was hollowed out (Gao Feng attacked), and Wu Zetian began to assist in government. Tuyuhun was annexed by Tubo.

Li Zhi may have a hunch that he will not be able to do it, and he has to deal a heavy hand on the old courtier first. Hundreds of years later, Zhu Yuanzhang did the same thing. Imperial, ruthless; Profit, only truth.

In 661, Xue Rengui set the Tianshan Mountains with three arrows.

There was a mutiny in Baekje! Lee Ji sent Liu In-cho, a veteran who had reached retirement age if he had not delayed his retirement, to kill Baekje.

In 663, Liu Renzhuo and Little Japan went to work. The Tang army was too strong and unstoppable, and Xiao Ri bowed down and learned the Tang and Han culture (as can be seen from the Japanese text). To this day, many Tang dynasty buildings have been preserved in Kyoto and Nara in Japan.

Cherry blossoms were originally cultivated on the mainland for ornamental purposes during the Qin and Han dynasties, and were brought back by Xiaori during the Tang Dynasty.

Baekje's rebellion finally settled, and Lao Liu rose to prominence from then on. A civilian official who has never led troops to fight a war has finally received a pension that has accumulated a lifetime of luck, and he is a general and has ambitions for thousands of miles! Old Liu gave a breath for Chinese, and Xiao Ri was beaten by us more than a thousand years ago, and it was not until the Ming Dynasty that he sneakily sneaked and robbed and killed land and re-entered the coastal area of China. Fortunately, there was a martial general surnamed Qi Jiguang at that time.

In 665, after the drafting of the abolition, Shangguan Yi, who was used as a scapegoat, died. (As mentioned later, Shangguan Wan'er is his granddaughter).

Cheng bites the golden pawn.

In 666, on the first day of the first lunar month, gongs and drums sounded in unison, and Li Zhi took his wife, and Taishan sealed Zen. The eldest of Li Zhi, the second eldest of Wu Zetian (Ya Xian). Then an amnesty was granted to the world.

In 667, Su Dingfang died in the northwest after the Long March of Wanli.

In 668, Li Wei led Xue Rengui and others to destroy Goguryeo. The Andong Governorate was established on the side of Pyongyang City. At the end of the year, he returned in triumph, and Lao Li received a rich pension.

In 669, Li Jing's henchman Li Wei died.

During the reign of Emperor Gaozong, the Tang Dynasty had the largest territory, stretching from the Korean Peninsula in the east, the Aral Sea in the west, Lake Baikal in the north, and central Vietnam in the south, which lasted for 32 years.

Li Zhi was a successful man and an excellent emperor. There is no doubt about that. (Private virtue is lost, killing the eldest grandson without sagli)

A brief history of 5,000 years of China that cannot be read in one breath|Early Tang (explosive special)

Li Zhi actor is called Li Zhiting, handsome

It is said that during Li Shimin's serious illness, the crown prince Li Zhi served on the side, of course, everything was done by concubines and palace maidens. Wu Zetian, who was only favored by Li Shimin once, did not leave anything in his stomach, but his heart and eyes grew day by day. In the ten years she was refrigerated, she went from 14 to 24 years old, completing the gorgeous transformation of a middle school girl to a scheming girl.

Li Zhi was made crown prince at the age of 15. When his father was seriously ill, the 19-year-old prince Li Zhi met Wu Meiniang, who was 4 or 5 years older than him.

Wu Zetian is beautiful and moving, and Chu Chu is pitiful and lovely. Prince Li Zhi has just become an adult, his mind is flexible, and he is itchy to see Meiniang, and he can't talk to her, so he can only miss her with his eyes.

A wife is better than a concubine, a concubine is better than stealing ...

Finally, Li Zhi seized the opportunity, and on the other side of Li Shimin's bedroom, the two were out of control, only a wall away from the current emperor.

At first glance, the soul in the dream of Cuishan, the balcony road is not heard. (Li Shimin)

Weiyang Jin tent wind and cloud meeting, first Mu Jinpen rain Luen. (Wu Zetian)

One person brings water, and one person sprinkles water. One person goes out of the upper link, and one person goes down to the lower link.

Later, Li Shimin drove Hexi to the west, and all concubines without heirs (including Wu Zetian, a five-rank talent) entered the nun as nuns, and Li Zhi had long forgotten Wu Zetian. By chance, Wu Zetian "waited" for Li Zhi, and the two regained their old love, and Meiniang was fortunate in the nunnery. When Li Zhi took her to the palace, her stomach couldn't be hidden.

(Wu Zetian bribed some people and knew in advance that Li Zhi would come to Kanye Temple.) )

Later, everyone knew that Wu Zetian successfully fought in the palace, drove Empress Wang away, and became an empress himself, sitting for decades. There is also a saying that Wu Zetian just gave birth to the little princess, and the queen Wang came to visit the little princess, and as soon as she left on her hind feet, the little princess died. Wu Zetian framed Empress Wang with his daughter's life.

Wu Zetian is the most powerful assistant, the person closest to Li Zhi, and the woman Li Zhi has loved and impulsive, and this kind of relationship is more complicated than ordinary marriage. Men love gentle, understanding women, and she does; Good wife and good mother (6 children), she did it during Li Zhi's lifetime; What is the woman behind a successful man, just look at Wu Zetian.

Marrying Wu Zetian and making her the queen weighed the pros and cons. This is to lift one side and strike the other. Why heavy Li Wei is to suppress his uncle Changsun Wuji. Wu Zetian also helped Li Zhi in this way, bringing the five-rank official Xu Jingzong (the first traitor in the history books). As for later, Wu Zetian wanted to be bigger, so he went beyond the cooperative relationship and became another competitive relationship.

Li Wei said, "This Your Majesty's family affairs, why ask outsiders more!" , the success of the differentiation and divestiture of Changsun Group.

All in all, Wu Zetian was his political capital and Li Zhi's divine assist. They play the supreme trick. Li Zhi joined hands with Wu Zetian to carefully plan the layout, cut off the wings of the Lao Chen Group, broke them one by one, and finally uprooted them.

Later emperor rotation system: 683-684, Li Xian. 684-690, Li Dan. 690-705, Wu Zetian. 705-710, Li Xian. 710-712, Li Dan. (712 Li Longji)

In 670, the good times did not last long. Xue Rengui suffered a crushing defeat at the Battle of Dafeichuan during the Tubo Offensive, and the Tang Dynasty suffered heavy losses. Tubo captured Anxidu Fufu. Although it was recaptured three years later, it made the Turks deceive the corpse and rebelled a few years later.

It was an unusual year. Wu Zetian's minions Xu Jingzong resigned first, Wu Zetian resigned again, and then Helan Minzhi, who messed with his own grandmother, was killed, and he had already shown his guilt. During Li Zhi's reign, Wu Zetian did not have power over the opposition, and still assumed the role of assistant and backer.

In 672, Wu Zetian funded the Luoyang Longmen Grottoes to carve the Lushena Buddha, which was completed three years later.

In 675, the crown prince Li Hong died. Li Hong was the eldest son of Wu Zetian.

In 676, Li Zhi played the spirit of fighting to the end, sent a men's group of martial generals, the veteran general Liu Renzhuo and others, or familiar formulas, familiar battlefields, mighty to Tubo to fight blood, to let Tubo kneel and call his father.

However, before he set off, Liu Renzhuo gave up the highlight of his life, Xuan Bing said that he couldn't go, and the other two generals died and were transferred, leaving only Li Jingxuan, who I didn't mention in the previous episodes. This person can only fight in culture, but the girl who came to martial arts is the first time and is likely to be the last.

It was a dream-like defeat.

Finally, this time he returned to Chang'an alive, but he carried 180,000 lives of the Tang army. Li Zhi was not confused this time, and directly demoted him out of the city to fend for himself. A few people returned to the ancient battle, Li Jingxuan wanted to endure humiliation and steal life, no way!

In 679, Pei Xingjian set out to beat the unfilial son of the Western Turks. (Hedong Pei's descendants)

Li Zhi and his wife went to Luoyang, where Li Xian supervised the country. It is equivalent to parents not at home, children acting arbitrarily, and even engaging in male pets.

In 680, Li Xian was deposed and Li Xian was made crown prince.

In 682, Pei Xingjian fell ill and died. This time, Li Zhi thought of Xue Rengui again. Xue Rengui was defeated twice, and this time he had to raise his eyebrows, and he couldn't be sealed by Li Guang. When the Turks heard that the wolf was coming, they were so frightened that they really cried.

Xue Rengui, who is almost 70 years old, fought the Turks and completed his mission. Although the Eastern Turks revived in the decades after the Eastern Turks, it was also a matter of the later dynasties, and Xue Rengui chased Hu for thousands of miles, worthy of being a generation of famous generals.

In terms of political focus, Li Zhi finally decided to entrust it to Wu Zetian.

A brief history of 5,000 years of China that cannot be read in one breath|Early Tang (explosive special)

I watched this version as a child

In 683, Li Zhixue. Xue Rengui. (Li Yuan and Samurai Bin, Li Shimin and Li Jing, Li Zhi and Xue Rengui)

The Tang Dynasty's plate grew from 10 million to 30 million after he took over. There is a kind of reproduction of the rule of literary scenery, which can be said to be quite stable receiver.

Li Yuanjian Tang, Li Shimin Wentang, Li Zhituo Tang. Three generations of monarchs each perform their duties. However, at this time, there was a Wu Zetian in the middle of the grape wine luminous glass. Readers think about it, Wu Zetian summed it up in one word, why did she Tang?

And listen to the next breakdown.
